Me and my dad were going over the sample ballot with her and she started to feel "overwhelmed" with the amendments and other positions we could vote for and we were like "okay you don't have to vote for everything, but you need to go & vote." :/

I can't with these 18, 19-year-olds who are all ready apathetic. It was alarming that most did not have a preference. They couldn't even choose Obama or Romney as a hypothetical question. I told them how important voting was and blah blah blah then got some to go to the polling place on campus. Halfway there, they told me they weren't registered.

Other freshman were not voting because they didn't want to do jury duty. I told them how you can easily get out of it, but that didn't phase them. All I heard today, "Tell me ONE thing voting helps you with!" "Voting isn't as important as you think it is!" "There's no point in voting!" These fuckers will all grow up to be asshole libertarians.

I'm glad this shit happens four years. I can't handle this or leap year.

Pretty sure you get called for jury duty if you're over 18 and the government knows your permanent address (ie, you have a state id or driver's license), regardless of whether you're a registered voter or not.
